QB Brock Purdy, SF (2 Viewers)

But in bigger picture, I think the tests will show he was clearly injured and it all becomes a moot point.
Yeah, he threw all of 1 time - it went 3 yards and floated there awkwardly.

If he could have thrown more, I think he would have. He was clearly injured.
Right. While yesterday was tough to watch, it really shouldn't do anything to Purdy's stock or one's thought of him. He got hurt almost immediately and clearly could barely throw.

Somebody commented above that he should have gutted it out or some such but the guy could barely throw a football - not sure what else could have been expected of him.
 
What are they going to do when Brady gets the job?
I don't think Brady goes there, but if he does just have them backup Brady and learn from him IMO for the year or whatever. Should Tom look great and they win the SB or something then SF should start to think harder about this question (though the answer is probably trading one of them for whatever they can get).

It was two times. Don't short change him. But you could tell on the 2nd one as he shot putted it over to the receiver that he had nothing. It's looking more and more like an UCL as that zaps all whip and snap to any throw.

Agreed.
 
For me, this is the outstanding question on Purdy:
QB1 (10-2 record): 64.0% completions, 2891 yards, 27 TD 2 INT, 119.2 rating
QB2 (8-0 record): 67.2% completions, 1920 yards, 16 TD 4 INT, 107.3 rating

QB1 is Nick Foles, who also took over an existing offense with a lot of weapons: LeSean McCoy (2146 combined yards) and DeSean Jackson (1334 combined) in their primes. McCaffrey, Kittle and Deebo are all top-5 at their positions. Purdy did a good job running the offense, and he does have coolness on his side, but I'm not convinced he's better than Foles.
Sure (though being Nick Foles isn't all that bad as Foles has had a relatively successful career).

But I'm also not convinced Purdy isn't the next poor man's Tom Brady (in that nobody will probably ever be Brady but Purdy could be a solid NFL starter for years).

All this is why I think it makes sense to go into next year with Purdy as 1A and Lance as 1B and see what shakes out in camp. Either way, they should have two relatively viable QBs which we continue to learn more and more is almost necessary in today's NFL.
Yeah, he could be better than Foles. Just around here, a lot of people have anointed him already, and I'm skeptical.
 
It's not out of the realm of possibility the Niners could also have to be in the market for another QB. Lance could be slowed by injury recovery (and they may not be sold on him). Purdy could need UCL surgery and could miss a huge chunk of the season (or all of it). Pretty hard to know how things stand at the moment.

If he needs Tommy John the 2023 season will be lost for Purdy. Been playing FBB long enough to know that timeline isn’t pretty.

From what I’ve been reading, Lance is on track with his recovery.

Lance needed a second surgery a few weeks ago for irritation and inflammation from his initial surgery. He's expected to be ready for OTA's, but who knows if / when he will be 100%. Similarly, we don't know what SF feels about a guy that's only had 4 starts in 2 years with a 54% completion percentage. Maybe SF thinks they are good to go with Purdy and Lance, but IMO, it's hard to completely dismiss that they may have to bring in someone else (or try to bring back Jimmy G.).
 
or try to bring back Jimmy G
I think Jimmy looked too happy yesterday thinking of his next paycheck. Seems like that ship has sailed regardless of what happens with Purdy and Lance.
I didn't think Jimmy would be back last season. There are a lot of QBs that could be moved or are free agents next year. Brady, Rodgers, Lamar, Carr, Smith, Jones, Fields, Mayfield, Darnold . . . plus a new crop of rookies. There could be 10-12 guys that have a shot at starting somewhere. I guess it depends how much Garoppolo wants, for how long, and how much guaranteed.
 
And

Since it is a rare injury at this position, there is limited data out there. This study looked at 10 NFL QB’s who had the injury with only one needing surgery:

 
Probably the worst outcome would be a situation where Purdy could try to recover without the need for surgery and ends up needing the surgery later. The strain on a pitcher's elbow is different (and more dramatic) than the motion to throw a football, so it makes sense that a full surgical procedure may not be necessary. I thought they would have had the results of the MRI and a prognosis by now.

QB1 (10-2 record): 64.0% completions, 2891 yards, 27 TD 2 INT, 119.2 rating

McCaffrey, Kittle and Deebo are all top-5 at their positions. Purdy did a good job running the offense, and he does have coolness on his side, but I'm not convinced he's better than Foles.
But that’s just one “magical run” season for Foles, and not really indicative of his career.

Now it’s certainly possible Purdy never has a run like this again. There’s a lot of reasons why that’s possible, but it’s not really a fair comparison between a rookie and a journeyman’s career year.
 

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Brock Purdy suffered a complete tear of his ulnar collateral ligament in the NFC Championship against the Eagles.​

Purdy will reportedly seek a second opinion on his injury, but Pelissero reports the hope is he will undergo a repair rather than a total reconstruction (Tommy John surgery). If doctors can repair Purdy's UCL, the hope is he would be ready for training camp. Purdy was forced back into Sunday's loss to the Eagles after Josh Johnson left with a concussion, but said after the game he wasn't able to throw much more than 5-10 yards downfield. We'll likely know more on Purdy's injury and his pending surgery in the coming days.
 
Well that sucks. Guess we’ll find out how good Lance is.
Or Brady. Which I would hate.
:doh:

Brady is retiring imo
I don't think so. From my outside's view, he essentially sacrificed his marriage to have one more meaningful NFL run and, from the way he wisely (but not best for winning the game immediately) avoided hits the second half of this year, I think he wants to make another run at it.

I could see him going to the Raiders.

Agreed
Last off-season called, they want their hot take back.
Last season no one was kicking the tires on a JimmyG with a busted wing.

This off-season there are a lot more teams that need QBs, and while he got hurt, it wasn’t his shoulder.

Could open up another Jimmy G reunion but he’ll assuredly have a lot more suitors this offseason than last when he was recovering.

ETA: HSG beat me to it.

Foles was 24 years old when he had that season. He became a journeyman because it turned out he wasn't a great QB, despite that impressive run. My point is, that's a plausible future for Purdy.
 
Rapoport saying it’s not like full Tommy John and it’s a 6 month recovery. If so, that’s good news relative to much longer.
At this point, if they can surgically repair the damage, then it would be 6 months. But he still might need full Tommy John reconstructive surgery, which would be longer. That’s what Tom Pelissero is saying.

Fair enough. I’ll admit I thought Foles was older at the time. Even before this injury, the parallel could have continued.
 
I don’t get the take that one injury wipes out everything else this kid has done. I’m sure they’ll announce an open competition in camp - but I’d think Purdy’s game translates better on the practice field - with the coaching staff “knowing” how will it turn out.

It definitely shouldn’t. But having 4 QBs injured this year does give added reason to keep Lance. unless (maybe) they can get a cheap pro to backup Purdy and useful pieces in a deal.
They were 100% keeping Lance next year regardless of how yesterday played out.

There is really no scenario, beyond a foolish franchise offering 3 first round picks, where they aren't keeping Lance.

Purdy could have taken them to the SB and win decisively, and the Niners would 100% be keeping Lance next year.

Just sayin Lance seemed to disagree and it definitely wasn’t 100% certain. Most likely, sure.
Lance disagreed with what? Did he make a statement asking to be traded or demanding to be the starter next season?

There is virtually no scenario where the Niners would move on from Lance ATM. The only possibility would be in another team willing to give up multiple first & second round picks. The Niners would be remiss not to seek those opportunities but they aren't just moving on from him even if they bring in another veteran QB.

Why would he go to a team with a terrible defense? The 49'ers make the most sense as much as I hate to say it. Otherwise it's the Bucs, Panthers, or retirement IMO.
 
On the bright side, he'll get plenty of chances based on what he did. You don't win that many games and have it be a fluke.

Foles and Wentz will likely both be on rosters next season. Quarterbacks who show something get lots of chances. So he's far from done imo.

Plus he has 3 years left on a minimum rookie contract, very affordable guy to keep around.
